Can a robot open a crumpled plastic bag and pack objects into it? We’re developing algorithms for autonomous bagging. @UCBerkeley BAIR @berkeley_ai, @CMU_Robotics, and @ToyotaResearch #ICRA2023 🧵👇 (1/11)
🔎 Thin plastic bags are ubiquitous. “Bagging” is useful for many tasks such as grocery shopping, cleaning, recycling, and packing. (2/11)
While easy for humans, bagging is very challenging for robots. Bags can deform in many ways, creating complex self-occlusions. Furthermore, many plastic bags are reflective, or translucent, making perception challenging. (3/11) 
Archean Chemical Industries Limited's rating has been upgraded to [ICRA]BBB+(Stable) and withdrawn. The upgrade is due to the company's improved financial risk profile after raising Rs. 805 crore through an initial public offering (IPO) in November 2022. (1/4)

The IPO proceeds were used to redeem non-convertible debentures, strengthening the capital structure & coverage metrics. Revenues & operating profitability remained strong in FY2022 & 9M FY2023, supported by robust demand & healthy realizations for bromine & industrial salt (2/4)
The rating takes into consideration the company's competitive advantage, long-term offtake agreement with Sojitz Corporation, and exposure to external factors such as excessive rainfall. (3/4)
📢Excited to share our #ICRA2023 work on robotic table wiping via RL + optimal control!

💡RL (for high-level planning) + trajectory optimization (for precise control) can solve complex tasks without on-robot data collection ⬇️

🧽 How can a robot reliably wipe tables to clean spills and crumbs?
The problem is difficult: it requires both high-level planning from image observations and precise low-level control.
We propose an approach in three steps ⬇️

1/3: We "gamify" the high-level wiping problem 🎮: we define an SDE simulator of spills and crumbs dynamics pushed by the robot wiper and an associated reward.

1) Know what type of paper you're writing: a) a robot doing better at some well known task or b) a completely new and novel task / application / area.
For a) Show your delta over previous contributions, theoretically and/or practically
For b) Sell the relevance to robotics
